Peoria Area Voices for Animals is a local, informal group for anyone interested
in animal rights, vegetarianism, or veganism in the Peoria, Illinois, area.
Through peaceful activism (demonstrations, leafleting, letter writing, speaking
out on behalf of animals, and participation in local events such as Earth Day,
Meet-Out, etc.), we work to:
1)Educate people about the tremendous suffering
to animals caused by the decisions people make every day; and
2)Educate and
inspire people to take action to reduce animal suffering.
We promote peace
and compassion for all living beings, and it is our goal that animals be
recognized as living beings that have inalienable rights to live a natural life
free of harm at the hands of humans.
We also hold monthly vegan potlucks
where we share delicious food, discuss books, watch movies, and socialize.
